Jul 13, 2019 at 23:19 | comment | added | elemtilas | @curiousdannii -- Could be. Penny to a pound says WALS will say Latvian as well! Still rather opinion based. That, after all, would just be the opinion of whoever plugged data into WALS! | |
Jul 13, 2019 at 22:38 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | @elemtilas By using tools like WALS I think a set of languages that Valyrian is closest to typologically could be identified. | |

Jul 13, 2019 at 1:20 | comment | added | elemtilas | I think this query is going to be far too opinion based to be anything like useful for this forum. For what it worths, a quick shufty reminds me most of Latvian. Google translate wants to translate from Latvian as well. tā kā darba ņēmēju brīva kustība ir pozitīvs sociāli ekonomiskais piemērs gan ES, menti ossēnātās, qilōni pilos lue vale tolvie ossēnātās, yn riñe dōre ōdrikātās.

Jul 11, 2019 at 8:44 | comment | added | Christian Rau | @TorstenLink What does it matter if George Martin or someone else created the language, though? This isn't a GRRM question. | |
Jul 11, 2019 at 6:44 | comment | added | Simo Kivistö | @TorstenLink yes I'm aware that the "language" was mostly created by David J. Peterson. I'm aware it wasn't based on any existing language. Yet it resembles some languages more than others. For example it seems to resemble much more Latin than Chinese in many aspects. Even if you completely make up a language it's bound to resemble some living languages more than others... | |

From the link: The best I could do was try to sketch in each of the chief tongues of my imaginary world in broad strokes, and give them each their characteristic sounds and spellings

Jul 11, 2019 at 6:40 | comment | added | Tymek Wojnarowski | @TorstenLink yes, but he could have based these words on some language. | |
Jul 11, 2019 at 6:38 | comment | added | Torsten Link | George RR Martin said in an Interview, that he did NOT actually create a language but just made up the sinlge words he needed. The language was made up for the series only.... | |
